By the beginning of September, the autumn harvest was nearing the end, and watching the truckloads of grain sent into the warehouse, not only the people of Jiaozhou were smiling, but even Liu Fan's heart was full of joy. There is a saying that "there is food in your hands and you don't panic in your heart", this bumper harvest in Jiaozhou has completely freed the army from the constraints of needing to buy grain, and Liu Fan can't help but be unhappy.

On the second day of September, Liu Fan took people to inspect the surroundings, happened to pass by Jimo, and thought that he had not come to Jimo for a long time.

In the living room of Zhang's mansion, he was very happy to see Liu Fan coming to visit Zhang Yiheng, and after the two sat down, Zhang Yiheng pretended to be angry and said, "What kind of wind blew Jimin over?" You remember me, an old man! I didn't know to bring Yao'er to see me for so long! Hum! ”

Liu Fan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law! You know it too! I've been busy with the autumn harvest lately, and to be honest, I haven't been home for a long time! But then again! If you miss us, you can go to Shihe to see us! If only I had said! You might as well move to Shihe directly, so that we can take care of you nearby! ”

Zhang Yiheng waved his hand and refused, "I'm not too old to walk!" Besides, I have been living in Jimo for more than ten years, and I am used to life here, and my old subordinates also live here, so they are not too lonely! While my old bones are still a little useful, I will help you sit in Jimo, and when you completely take over here, it will not be too late for me to move to Shihe! ”

Liu Fan's heart was warm, and he was a little moved: "Father-in-law, you don't have to be like this!" Just have the little tiger here! Those people can't make any waves! ”

Zhang Yiheng shook his head and said, "With the deterrence of your army of broken captives, of course they don't dare to make any moves, but can you always be stationed in Shihe?" It's really an eventful time in the world now, and I don't think it won't be long before you go out to fight the world! ”

Liu Fan nodded thoughtfully, what Zhang Yiheng said was actually very right, according to historical development, the situation in Daming will begin to collapse from next year. Thinking of this, Liu Fan sighed, "I've also been preparing for this!" The reason why such radical measures were taken at the beginning of this year to pacify Jiaozhou was also to have a stable rear after my expedition! ”

Zhang Yiheng wanted to speak and stopped, his face struggled for a while, and finally sighed: "Alas! No matter what Jimin's behavior was in the past, it seems that the effect is still good from now! At least now the life of the people of Jiaozhou has become better! There is hope for life! Jimin did what I always wanted to do but didn't have the courage to do! Even I have to say a word of admiration! ”

"My father-in-law is overrated! I'm just getting into my own heart! I..." Before Liu Fan's words were finished, he was suddenly interrupted by a rush of footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw Li Xiaohu hurriedly stepping in. Liu Fan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Don't you see that I'm discussing with my father-in-law? Forgot the usual rules? ”

When Li Xiaohu heard Liu Fan's words, he stopped and hurriedly replied, "My lord! Let's report that Jin Yiwei commanded Lord Luo to Shihe! I'm in a hurry to see you! ”

Liu Fan's brows furrowed even deeper, "Did he say anything?" ”

Li Xiaohu replied, "No! He said he would have to see you in person to say it! However, according to the person who reported the letter, Luo Yangxing also brought a large number of brocade-clothed guards and soldiers from the Beijing camp this time! ”

After listening to Li Xiaohu's words, Zhang Yiheng said, "Jimin! I think this time the matter is not small, even Luo Yangxing is personal, you should go back and have a look first! ”

Liu Fan picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, before he said, "I guess I was unfortunately said by your father-in-law!" Luo Yangxing wants me to send troops! Father-in-law! Let's go back together! ”

Zhang Yiheng nodded: "Hmm!" I want to go see Yao'er too! ”

After the two discussed, they didn't delay and took people directly to Shihe, the distance between Jimo and Shihe was not too far, and the group was riding horses, and a few people returned to the garrison mansion in just two hours.

After coming back, Liu Fan came directly to the living room, Luo Yangxing had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw Liu Fan, Luo Yangxing got up and greeted him, "Jimin!" You're finally back! You've made me wait for a while! ”

Liu Fan arched his hand and said, "Lord Luo, forgive your sins!" I didn't expect you to come! It just so happened that I went to Jimo to visit my father-in-law today! Ay! I wouldn't have gone out if I had known you were coming! Come! You may be seated! After the two of them sat down and the maid served tea, Liu Fan turned his head and asked, "That's right!" I don't know what happened to Lord Luo this time? ”

Luo Yangxing was speechless, and scolded with a smile: "Good for you, Liu Jimin!" Can't I come and see you if I'm fine? And also! What Lord Luo! It's awkward to listen to! We have such a good relationship! Directly brother to commensurate! ”

Liu Fan smiled: "Okay! Brother Luo said yes! Brother Luo, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard! If it's okay, can you come to the poor countryside of Jiaozhou? ”

Luo Yangxing said helplessly: "Okay! I can't talk about you! Honestly, I'm really going to have something to do this time! Na! Take a look at this! After speaking, he took out a holy decree from his arms and handed it to Liu Fan!

Liu Fan took the holy decree and did not open it, but said, "Brother Luo! You also know that my level of education is not good! The text of this decree is obscure, and I am afraid it is difficult to understand! If you have anything to say, just say it! ”

Luo Yang raised his forehead and sighed: "Alas! I can't help it! All right! I'll get straight to the point! This time I have come at Your Majesty's will! Your Majesty wants you to send troops to Hebei to help the local exterminate the Liukou! Since June last year, the imperial court has sent heavy troops to encircle Henan and other places! At first, it was quite smooth, even the battle was victorious, and it was about to exterminate the thieves, but I didn't expect the Liukou to take advantage of the Yellow River to freeze, step on the ice of the Yellow River, cross the Yellow River to break through the encirclement of the officials and troops, and scattered, in early February, the leader of the 36th battalion of the thieves "Zijin Liang" Wang Ziyong led the crowd into Hebei, and the Sichuan general Deng Yu sent the general Yang Yuchun to lead the troops to chase after him, and died in ambush. The thieves were trapped in Zhaozhou, Xishan, Shunde, Zhending and other places, and the south of Jinan was eroded. At the beginning of June, he went west to the Motianling in Xingtai to Wu'an, and defeated the Zuo Liangyu army. The garrison Cao Ming and the chief bookkeeper Wu Yingke were all killed in battle. The imperial court is shaken, and His Majesty has now sent Wang Pu, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, to the south, hoping that Jimin can send troops from Shandong to join Wang Pu, Zuo Liangyu and others to exterminate the thieves in Jinan and other places! ”

"Poof!" Liu Fan immediately sprayed when he heard Luo Yangxing's words, Wang Pu? Zuo Liangyu? What the hell is this? No wonder you can't beat the thieves! As soon as he thought that he was going to fight with such a "pig teammate", Liu Fan suddenly felt bad! Shaking his head firmly, he refused, "No!" I can't go! (To be continued.) )
